♥ A heroic act brings them together, but a dark secret threatens to tear them apart. ♥


The Goddess:

Thera, Goddess of Sensations is the daughter of Ares, the god of war, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love. She is being used by her father as a pawn to start a war between the Trozens and the Centaur race. But when Kyros, second son of the deceased king jumps in front of Ares' beam, the god of war's plan is spoiled.

The Cursed Man:

Kyros had no idea when he jumped in front of Ares' beam to save the beautiful woman, that he'd unknowingly volunteered to sire her child. Thera is happy that her father's plan was foiled since he'd wanted to impregnate her with a centaur's seed to start a war. Kyros is not about to tell her that Ares has cursed him. By day he's a man but by night he's the wild-looking centaur who watches Thera from the thicket.

Can this relationship between a fallen goddess and a cursed man ever make either of them happy?

I found this story interesting and it usually don’t read this type of story but I couldn’t give up the story once I started it. It would be nice to have their lives continued a little longer.

4.0 out of 5 stars When the God of War wants WAR....
Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2015

Thera is a Goddess. Her father is Ares, the God of War. He wants his daughter to be a warrior, but she doesn't want to be one. In fact, she has considered being human. He wants to start a war between the centaurs and the humans. He has put his mind to this task and he isn't above using trickery to get what he wants. Ares tells Thera she is to be married to a King right away. As he takes her there, they are stopped by centaurs and he uses his power to impregnate her with a centaur As his power is wielded, Kytos steps in front of the centaur. Kyros thought Ares was trying to kill the centaur. Kyros has been cursed by Ares for several reasons, one of which is his brash attitude and back talk. Ares leaves Thera in a fit of anger and has some guards escort Thera to the palace. Kyros realizes what has happened and decides he wants take care of Thera and be there for his baby. Now he has to tell Thera he was cursed by her father and from sunset to dawn he becomes a centaur. How the author, Elizabeth Rose, tells this story, adds many characters and solves all the problem makes for a good story. A good story for the afternoon or evening reading session.

Very cool story about the Greek gods and their interactions with people. Not all of the children of the gods want to be gods themselves. This is the story of one who chose mortality for the love of a human.

5.0 out of 5 stars I may have a new favorite E. Rose series!
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2017
Until now, my favorite series has been the Daughters of the Dagger and Madmen MacKeefe. After reading this book, I may have to add her Greek Myths. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to get started on the rest of the series. I'd definitely recommend this book and this author. Her stories are all enjoyable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Kyros Doesn�t Have Much of a Secret
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2004
Verified Purchase
I originally purchased this book because the idea behind it intrigued me. I was crazy about Greek mythology as a child. I figured a romance involving greek gods, would be interesting. I was sorely disappointed. There were a number of issues with the book that bothered me.
From the start I had problems. In the first few chapters Ares sets up his petty revenge, Thera is impregnated, and Kyros' secret is revealed. The only thing remaining is getting Thera to figure out his secret, which she doesn't even try to do. She spends more time being upset he's gone.
One of my most serious problems is the whole one dimensional god idea. Ares is petty and vengeful, and the primary reason he sets up his little scheme is because he's angry Thera killed his raven and Hades wouldn't bring it back from the dead. He eventually says he needs war to keep him going, but for 80% of the book you're led to beleive his sole driving force is his raven's death at the hands of Thera. Sure, I'd be unhappy if my child killed a beloved pet, but this goes way beyond that.
The other gods and goddesses are petty as well. Aphrodite ignores Thera, who is the plainer daughter, and dotes on her sister Hermonia. Hades is grumpy and petty, and refuses a trade in the Underworld until Persephone steps in. Aside from Thera, she's the most interesting of the dieties.
The clichés also bothered me. Thera is a plain girl, her sister is gorgeous. Aphrodite is beautiful, as is Ares. Kyros is gorgeous, his centaur form is wild and mysterious to Thera. Kyros' brother is pure evil, and will stop at nothing to break his brother's spirit and end his life. Kyros and Thera must take a risk to be together, and that means the potential for the ultimate sacrifice. I know that writing relies on clichés to a point, but when they're used in excess it's hard to take the story seriously.
I tried to like this, I really did. But it was so far removed from what I enjoy that I found it very difficult. If you're reading just to read, and clichés and underdeveloped side characters don't bother you, then this isn't a bad read. But it's not for me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok if you like Greek mythology
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017
I LOVED Elizabeth Rose's medieval historical romances. This book was just not for me. The characters just seemed bland. The story line was interesting, but not amazing. Like I said, if you like Greek romances I'm sure you'll like this. I just enjoyed her other books much more.
Happy reading!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2015
the gods and godesses of Mt Olympus are constantly stirring up emotions struggling to achieve their own ends/ this book has wonderful personalities of the gods and goddesses, unlike any myth you may have read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Elizabeth Rose is a new author to me and I look forward to reading all of her books. I especially loved the first chapter and I don't want to give anything away here. You have to read this book!
